As soon as you change your address to New Zealand, they will send you a replacement card with the barcode but obviously you will need to have a New Zealand postal address and do it in advance.

I spend roughly one month in NZ every year but live in the USA. I was disappointed to find out my card doesn't accrue FlyBuys when I'm in NZ. Does anyone know of a work-around?
